33 Repair and installation of machinery and equipment
This division includes the specialised repair of goods produced in the manufacturing sector with the aim of restoring
machinery, equipment and other products to working order. The provision of general or routine maintenance (i.e.
servicing) on such products to ensure they work efficiently and to prevent breakdown and unnecessary repairs is
included.
This division does only include specialised repair and maintenance activities. A substantial amount of repair is also done
by manufacturers of machinery, equipment and other goods, in which case the classification of units engaged in these
repair and manufacturing activities is done according to the value added principle which would often assign these
combined activities to the manufacture of the good. The same principle is applied for combined trade and repair.
The rebuilding or remanufacturing of machinery and equipment is considered a manufacturing activity and included in
other divisions of this section.
Repair and maintenance of goods that are utilised as capital goods as well as consumer goods is typically classified as
repair and maintenance of household goods (e.g. office and household furniture repair, see 95.24).
Also included in this division is the specialised installation of machinery. However, the installation of equipment that
forms an integral part of buildings or similar structures, such as installation of electrical wiring, installation of escalators
or installation of air-conditioning systems, is classified as construction.
This division excludes:
